Are you sure the display is working ? Did you tried it on another computer ?

You can't boot each of your 47 computers to bartpe and use ghost to download via a multicast ghost server the image ? Ghost32 is 32bit (seem obvious) and bartpe has 32bit drivers against a 16bits dos driver and a 16 bits ghost. Should be about 4 time faster and more stable. Anyway if you still want to do it using a floppy disk if your drive are sata try disabling usb in the bios before booting else try disabling sata interface if it exist. Most of the time irq conflict can slow down image processing.

Try making a bartpe CD and use ghost32 which is a lot faster.

It might be possible but very hard to do. The following steps might help you to test if this is working or not ( i never tried this): - ghost your os on you old hardware - Install a new 2000 or 2003 with the new hardware. - export entire HKLM\system of the new system and save %systemroot%\system32\drivers - restore the old OS on the old hardware - modify your old computer drivers : - copy drivers for the new scsi card in %systemroot%\system32\drivers - add the new drivers entry in the registry in HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services and remove the old drivers entry - replace the old os registry branches directly (if possible if not from a PE CD) HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\Class, HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\codeviceinstallers, HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\criticaldevicedatabase and HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\deviceclasses. (note from a PE CD editing registry will be more complex: you need to load the system hive located in %systemroot%\system32\config on the old os hard drive, then to know which controlset is the current look in HKLM\remotesys\select the "current" value is the current value of the controlset. etc) - replace from a PE CD the registry branch HKLM\remotesys\mounteddevices - Now ghost again your system - set up your new controller and raid - put your ghost image on this new raid - pray a lot and this should work perhaps only in safe mode at first. Good luck and tell if you got it working or not.

Here is what you need: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=239780

Ghost is very easy to script. You just need to copy and paste the example in the manual if you need a basic unattended restore.

Try r-studio.

If both TS are in the same domain, it could be a gpo conflict. Did you apply the gpo to an OU in AD ? If so, are both of the TS in the OU ? I'm sure you did a gpupdate, but if you didn't, do it. Also check application eventlog to see if there are GPO application errors.

You have to use two different subnets!!! Example: 1) if your ip is 10.0.0.15 and you use a 255.255.255.0 subnet you'll see all ips from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.255(reserved for broadcasting all subnet ip). 2) if your ip is 10.0.0.15 and use a 255.255.255.252 subnet you'll see all ips from 10.0.0.12 to 10.0.0.15. So you should use two subnets each one for one network card and for each network card use a different ip as a subnet must not contains ips from another subnet if you want to access all ips on both subnet and for each subnet your ip must be in this specific subnet.

You should try tools like acronis recovery expert (now included with disk director suite) or R-studio.

Also when logged with terminal server does a user can launch the logon script from the start menu and run or from a dos box.

You just need to use a batch and task scheduler. This batch can solve the problem: :begin rem wait for a random few seconds set /A A=%random%/100 ping -n %A% 127.0.0.1 rem end of random wait code if exit %temp%\ntbackupinprgrs.txt goto end if not exist %temp%\ntbackupinprgrs.txt goto next goto begin :next Echo Ntbackup in progress >%temp%\ntbackupinprgrs.txt rem add your ntbackup command line below. goto end :end You could remove the random wait code safely.

Depending on your word version file are compressed or not. That's explanation. You should just need to use the same version. Also make sure your normal.dot isn't infected with a virus as some virus replicate themselves in word documents.

@echo off setlocal if "%1"=="" goto usage if "%2"=="" goto usage if not exist %1 goto iesrc for /f "delims=;" %%i in ('dir /b /ad %1') do (unrar e -o+ -inul %1\%%i\*.rar %2) goto end :usage echo unrargui sourcefolder destinationfolder goto end :iesrc echo sourcefolder %1 does not exist goto end :end endlocal This should do the job. If you don't want the error management remove all line except the one begining with for.

There are two kind of CAL for terminal server in 2K3 : - by device - by user Anyway, there are problems with the by users licensing so most of the time microsoft recommends to use by device licensing. And you need to have a terminal server license manager in your domain. Here is more explanations from MS

You can remotely configure remote desktop or install vnc if at least you have network and firewall configured and know the login/password for the remote computer. You could also use dameware remote control which will autoinstall and allow you to remote control your computer.

In fact there are bad series in all manufacturers, but actually the best warranty is offered by seagate with 5 years. But in my case at the support level maxtor and WD are the best.

Which motherboard do you own?

You should use offline folders. They can be assigned administratively with a GPO but you'd have to modify where outlook store his pst (storage should be directly on the network). Offline folders can be synchronized automatically at logout and at login. This way when people have access to the server where their pst are stored, they will store all mails straight to the server and then when they logout, the synchronization will make a copy on people computer. So if they have a mobile computer, they will be able to access the pst even when not connected to network. To have experienced this in a big company, either way you'll choose; you have to make people of your company use archive pst. This way the only thing that will be synchronized should not be too big except the first time the archive is created. Of course each time you modify the archive pst you'll have to synchronize it again. You'll have to explain this to outlook users in order they take the time each month to filter which mails will go to the archive.

It's look like a redirection problem. You could also check that this recipient didn't make a rule to forward mails to another person.

I also got issues with ati drivers: when i last upgraded a few weeks ago to lastest ati drivers, i had flickering image all the time not only in game. I restored my old drivers and same problem. I reinstalled entire XP and still the same probleme. I changed the video card against an old Gforce 4MX and the problem was still there even after reinstalling again. I was about to give up when i tried vga mode and there all was working fine even if it was slow as hell. So the video cards all worked but the ati drivers modified / or detroyed something in my AGP port/controler because when i thought about this cause i tried an nvidia riva TNT2 which is only AGP X1 and it worked perfectly. Then i flashed my MB and reset the bios without getting the agp port to work normally. Ati drivers finally damaged my MB. I didn't knew it was even possible.

Then you need to press F6 at the begining of install to add the driver of your sata controler.

It seem rather green.

It should work as long as there is trust relation between domainA and domainB.

You need to install the 2003 to your Samsung hard drive if your 2003 wasn't previously allready installed on the same motherboard and hard drive type. You can't simply ghost a windows 2003 from an ide hard drive to a sata hard drive even when using the same motherboard. If you have acces to acronis universal restore or his symantec counterpart (forgot the name), you should be able to boot in safe mode the windows 2003 on the Samsung hard drive and then modify drivers to be able to boot in normal mode.
